|Inherits from
|Conforms to
Available in iOS 3.2 and later.
|Companion guide
|Declared in
UISplitViewController class is a container view controller that manages the presentation of two side-by-side view controllers. You use this class to implement a master-detail interface, in which the left-side view controller presents a list of items and the right-side presents details of the selected item. Split view controllers are for use exclusively on iPad devices. Attempting to create one on other devices results in an exception.
The split view controller has no significant interface of its own. Its job is to manage the presentation of its two child view controllers and transitions between different orientations. (A split view controller supports the same interface orientations as its currently visible child view controllers.) Some aspects of the presentation are coordinated in conjunction with a delegate object.
By default, the split view controller displays both of its view controllers when in a landscape orientation. However, in a portrait orientation, the split view controller displays only the detail view controller by default. You can change this default behavior using the delegate's
splitViewController:shouldHideViewController:inOrientation: method.
When in a portrait orientation, the split view controller places the master view controller in a popover that is linked to a bar button item. The split view controller then makes this bar button item available to your app so that you can display it. To facilitate the display of that button, the split view controller calls the methods of its delegate at appropriate times:
When the split view controller switches to a portrait orientation, it calls the
splitViewController:willHideViewController:withBarButtonItem:forPopoverController:method of its delegate. The bar button item passed as the third argument is configured to present the master view controller in a popover controller. Your delegate's implementation of this method should add the bar button item to a visible tool bar or navigation bar.
When the split view controller switches to a landscape orientation, it calls the
splitViewController:willShowViewController:invalidatingBarButtonItem:method of its delegate. Your delegate's implementation of this method should remove the bar button item from the bar in which it was placed.
For more information on the methods of the delegate object, see UISplitViewControllerDelegate Protocol Reference.
In iOS 5.1 and later, the hidden master view controller can also be displayed using a swipe gesture. If necessary (for example, if the split view controller's use of the swipe gesture interferes with your use of swipe gestures), you can suppress this behavior by setting
presentsWithGesture to
This class is generally used as-is but may be subclassed in iOS 6 and later.
Application Architecture Using Split View Controllers
You must assign two view controllers to a split view controller. Usually you configure these view controllers in a storyboard; if you create a split view controller programmatically, you assign them using the
viewControllers property. A split view controller does not provide any inherent support for managing the communication between the view controllers you assign to it. It is your responsibility to determine the best way to do that. There are two main approaches you can take, depending on the type of application you create:
A simple master-detail interface in which the detail view remains constant.
In this configuration, a single view controller manages the detail view for the lifetime of the application and updates the contents of subviews to reflect the selection in the master view. The master view controller has a reference to the detail view controller and informs the detail view controller whenever the selected item changes or some other relevant event occurs. The detail view controller might also serve as the split view controller's delegate.
A complex application in which the master and detail views (and corresponding view controllers) may change.
In complex configurations, you need a separate custom controller object to manage the master and detail view controllers and mediate between them. The custom controller is typically the split view controller's delegate and is responsible for communicating with the current detail view controller to show and hide the popover bar button item.
Message Forwarding to Its Child View Controllers
A split view controller interposes itself between the application's window and its child view controllers. As a result, all messages to the visible view controllers must flow through the split view controller. This works generally as you might expect and the flow of messages should be relatively intuitive. For example, view appearance and disappearance messages are sent only when the corresponding child view controller actually appears on screen. Thus, when a split view controller is first displayed in a portrait orientation, it calls the
viewWillAppear: and
viewDidAppear: methods of only the view controller that is shown initially. The view controller that is presented using a popover does not receive those messages until the popover is shown or until the split view controller rotates to a landscape orientation.
State Preservation
In iOS 6 and later, if you assign a value to this split view controller's
restorationIdentifier property, it preserves each child view controller that has its own valid restoration identifier. During the next launch cycle, the split view controller restores the preserved view controllers to their previous state.
The child view controllers of a split view controller may use the same restoration identifiers. The split view controller automatically stores additional information to ensure that each child's restoration path is unique.
For more information about how state preservation and restoration works, see iOS App Programming Guide.
Managing the Child View Controllers
Accessing the Delegate Object
The delegate you want to receive split view controller messages.
The split view controller uses its delegate to manage the showing and hiding of related view controllers. For more information about the methods you can implement in your delegate, see UISplitViewControllerDelegate Protocol Reference.

The default value is
- Available in iOS 5.1 and later.
Declared In
The array of view controllers managed by the receiver.
The array in this property must contain exactly two view controllers. The view controllers are presented left-to-right in the split view interface when it is in a landscape orientation. Thus, the view controller at index 0 is displayed on the left side and the view controller at index 1 is displayed on the right side of the interface.
The first view controller in this array is typically hidden when the device is in a portrait orientation. Assign a delegate object to the receiver if you want to coordinate the display of this view controller using a popover.

Glenn, UM Regent candidate advocate healthcare reform
Midland, Mich. — Republican state House candidate Gary Glenn's fundraising dinner Wednesday at the Midland Resort and Convention Center focused on restoring individual choice and free market principles to healthcare in Michigan. A Larkin Township resident, Glenn is running for the 98th House District seat currently held by Rep. Jim Stamas, R-Midland, who is term-limited. The district includes the city of Midland and surrounding suburban and rural townships in Midland and Bay counties.
The event featured Dr. Rob Steele, an Ann Arbor cardiologist and 2014 Republican candidate for the University of Michigan Board of Regents. In the 2010 election immediately following passage of ObamaCare, Steele won mainstream GOP and TEA Party support when he challenged a leading advocate of the plan, Congressman John Dingell, D-Dearborn, holding the long-term Democratic lawmaker to his lowest margin of victory in a political career spanning over half a century.
Steele praised Glenn's commitment to restoring individual freedom and patient choice to the future of healthcare in Michigan. "Gary's campaign is a great startup and investment in your children and grandchildren's future. I urge you to help and invest in a knowledgeable candidate who's going to work to protect future generations from the higher and higher healthcare costs we're experiencing under the current government intervention and financing schemes."
"If Gary had been there in the state House of Representatives," Steele said, "he would have helped (Sen. John Moolenaar, R-Midland, and Rep. Kevin Cotter, R-Mt. Pleasant) hold back the tide of Medicaid expansion, which is a real disaster for the state."
Steele said the current system is based on "crony corporatism" with profit incentives that drive "higher and higher costs" to patients who largely don't care what hospitals charge because for most, a third-party insurer—the government or an insurance company—pays the bill. He proposed a four-step plan which Glenn endorsed to reverse course and help reduce healthcare costs by moving back toward a free market-based system:
* Allow individuals to purchase health insurance across state lines;
* Encourage price transparency for patients who pay their bills directly in cash;
* Tort reform, including capping damages awards that drive up the cost of medical liability insurance, an expense that is passed on to patients; and
* Encourage high-deductible Health Savings Accounts which incentivize patients—who are free to keep whatever they don't spend tax-free, like an IRA—to shop around for the best price and thus pressure healthcare providers to lower the cost.
Steele offered two examples of what happens to healthcare costs when third-party insurers—the government or health insurance companies—are not involved in paying for services.
A surgical facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he said, is demonstrating what the effect of "a true free market in healthcare" would be by listing on its website the full and complete price it charges for each surgical procedure to any patient who pays their own bills in cash. The facility charges $16,000 for open heart surgery, Steele said, while the same operation would cost $200,000 at the University of Michigan, which is paid by the government or insurance companies for the care it provides. The Tulsa facility also charges $6,200 for knee surgeries that cost $40,000 at hospitals compensated by third-party insurers.
He also pointed to two surgical procedures that are not covered by health insurance: "Lasik" eye surgery and elective cosmetic or plastic surgery. Because patients pay for such procedures out of their own pocket instead of through government or insurance company intermediaries, the price has dropped over the last decade.
Glenn told attendees that if elected, he would work with Steele and other healthcare freedom advocates to bring about needed reforms.
"For the sake of my own children and grandchildren, and yours, I'll be a leader in working to roll back the broken promises of ObamaCare and restore individual freedom, competition, and patient choice to healthcare in Michigan," Glenn said. "In a free country, if we like our doctors, it's none of the federal or state government's business whether we keep them or not."
Glenn two decades ago was an early innovator in healthcare reform. As a two-term Republican county commissioner in the mid-1990s, he authored the first Health Savings Account-based health insurance plan for county employees anywhere in the nation. He was invited to testify before Congress and legislative committees in Ohio and Idaho, and was featured in a news conference by Republican members of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee and in Senate floor debate on the Kennedy-Kassebaum healthcare reform legislation. He was also invited to address the national conventions of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons (AAPS).
"Commissioner Gary Glenn's leadership on an unlikely subject — health care reform — has won him national praise," the Idaho Statesman daily newspaper reported in 1996. "`We consider him a pioneer,' said Dan Moll, (U.S. House Civil Service Subcommittee Chairman Rep. John) Mica's senior policy director. 'The chairman believes (Glenn's plan) strengthens the free-market aspects of the federal health care program.'"

Gary Glenn Statement on "Tax Day," April 15:
Gary Glenn, candidate for Michigan House of Representatives, issued the following remarks upon the passing of April 15, "Tax Day":
Tax Day is a day for all Americans to reflect on the meaning of the government's confiscation of the fruits of their labor.
Our federal tax code is a nightmare. It is a shocking, seemingly endless array of rules and regulations. No American, rich or poor, could contend that our system is fair. Today we are struck by the deadline for the federal income tax, but our income is "withheld" year-round, on top of the countless other taxes we pay.
We pay taxes on the income we earn, and we pay taxes on the products we purchase. When you consider the economic effect of taxing the American worker, you realize that the cost of every American worker's taxes in the supply chain affects the cost of every product.
Thus, we pay much more than the taxes we remit on April 15, and even more than the taxes shown on our receipts: there are hidden taxes in the cost of everything we buy, and of course, that amount is also taxable by the state sales tax.
The state of Michigan taxes our income, it taxes our sales, and it taxes our gasoline at one of the highest rates in the nation. The state demands tribute for every man, woman, and child.
I'm proud to have signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, and I solemnly swear never to support any tax increase in any form as a representative in Lansing.
Furthermore, I will not be satisfied unless taxes are reduced and the state budget is reduced—in absolute terms, not relative to population or inflation.
And the more of their own money taxpayers are allowed to keep and spend as they see fit, the more jobs we'll create for Michigan's future. Is that a new thought?
Hardly. It used to be an economic principle so broadly understood and universally approved that I can, if you'll forgive me, call as witness an icon of the Democratic Party to prove it, albeit one who'd probably be too "conservative" for today's party of Jefferson and Jackson.
"Every dollar released from taxation that is spared or invested will help create a new job and a new salary." —President John F. Kennedy
And if there's anything Michigan needs after a decade of suffering the worst job loss in America, it's that. Preach it, Jack.
Upcoming event April 16: Fundraising dinner and presentation by Dr. Rob Steele
A tireless activist for health freedom and a well-respect cardiologist in his community, Dr. Rob Steele, will join us next Wednesday (April 16), for a dinner at the Midland Resort and Convention Center to support our campaign.
Dr. Steele is a long-time fighter for freedom in choice in health care. He is a speaker for Doctors for Patient Care, a national organization of physicians and surgeons that support free market health care and lay out several innovative policy recommendations to improve freedom and choice in health care at lower costs.
He's also a candidate for University of Michigan Board of Regents, and was the Republican nominee for Congress in Michigan's 15th district in 2010.
Dr. Steele will outline steps the state should take to restore free market principles and patient choice to the nation's healthcare system.
We'd be honored if you can join us.
For $35, it's an affordable dinner program that benefits our campaign's efforts, and Dr. Steele's presentation is enlightening.
We're getting close to the election, now less than four months away, and every bit of support can make the difference in the outcome.
We'd be grateful if you would join us. It will be a great program with great company.

April 4: Sign the Petition: "Challenge to a Debate"
It's been two months since Gary challenged his opponent, Karl Ieuter, to a series of debates on the issues. So far, Ieuter has refused to debate Gary in any setting, while Gary maintained he is willing to join him in debate on any topic, any time, anywhere.
Now, Gary is calling on voters in the district to join him in calling upon his opponent to debate him. By signing the petition, you'll help ramp up the pressure to have an open discussion of the issues before the voters.
Please sign the petition at this link, right now!
April 1: Gary Glenn's Statement on Crossing President Obama's "Deadline"
Republican candidate for state representative Gary Glenn issued the following statement regarding crossing President Obama's "deadline" Tuesday for purchasing mandatory health insurance:
"Tuesday -- appropriately, April Fools Day, though sadly it's no joking matter -- was the first day that millions of Americans will face punishment by our federal government for the crime of not purchasing health insurance.
"After carving out countless special exemptions for labor unions and other political allies, the President of the United States said he is proud that as of today, Americans who don't comply with a federal mandate to buy health insurance will be fined a percentage of their income rising to 2.5 percent over the next two years.
"Notably, the HealthCare.gov website indicates that illegal aliens are exempt from the mandate that applies to American citizens. Thus, the Obama Administration condones and even rewards illegality, while at the same time making law breakers of otherwise law-abiding, working class Americans.
"Since its inception, ObamaCare has been a display of government power and arrogance. Now no longer an abstraction, the soft tyranny of socialized medicine begins.
"President James Madison, and before that the "Father of the Constitution," said it is the duty of the states -- and thus the responsibility of state legislators -- to protect their states' citizens from the unconstitutional acts of a federal government acting outside its express Constitutional authority.
"Nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government given the power to force individual Americans to buy a given product or service, Justice John Roberts' and a bare Supreme Court majority's recent fabrication of such authority notwithstanding. (No, I don't consider it "settled" law.)
"As state representative for Bay and Midland counties, I will pursue every possible action by which to resist implementation of ObamaCare in Michigan and assist those working to repeal it in Washington.
"In addition to creating and attracting new jobs to our region to replace the jobs lost because of ObamaCare, restoring our families' freedom to make their own healthcare decisions without interference or dictates from the federal government will be one of my highest priorities in the state House of Representatives."

News from the 98th District race
"Glenn Thursday signed and submitted the Taxpayer Protection Pledge sponsored by Americans For Tax Reform, a national taxpayer advocacy organization. By signing the document, Glenn pledged to the taxpayers of the 98th District and all the people of this state that he will oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes.
Glenn said his pledge includes any attempt to increase the state gas tax, which is already fifth-highest in the nation. He challenged his opponent, Karl Ieuter, to join him in signing the pledge. 'Taxpayers have a right to know in advance if a candidate is open to increasing the already heavy tax burden on families and business owners,' he said.
Glenn last weekend spoke to a gathering of more than 400 grassroots leaders at the Grassroots Pow Wow at the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mount Pleasant... Glenn was a speaker at the first TEA Party rally on the Midland County Courthouse steps on April 15, 2009, which drew a crowd of more than 600: the largest political gathering in county history, the Midland Daily News reported at the time." »» Read More
State considers part-time legislature
"State House candidate Gary Glenn is spearheading a petition to amend the state constitution and would like voters to pass a measure that would make our state legislative positions a part time job. A proposed state constitutional amendment would limit the legislature to meeting no more than 60 consecutive days each year and cap their combined salaries and benefits at no more than $35-thousand a year.
'If 46 other states can get by with part time legislators, so can Michigan, at a considerable savings to taxpayers,' says Glenn. 'I think a part time legislature would be one in which legislators would be more representative of the constituency that they're supposed to represent, because they'd have to have everyday jobs like everyone else. They wouldn't be dependent on being full-time professional politicians.'" »» Read More

Political round-up
"[Republican candidate for state representative Gary] Glenn lauded passage of bills last week by the state House to protect the rights and privacy of law-abiding gun owners in Michigan. 'I applaud the House for protecting the privacy rights and safety of Michigan families who are law-abiding gun owners. The Freedom of Information Act was intended to shine light on government, not provide criminals a database of unarmed potential victims,' Glenn said, referring to a recent incident in which a major website published a complete list of gun owners in New York City based on data obtained with a FOIA request, which also revealed which homes did not have guns. House bills 4155 and 5324-5327 would prevent this from occurring in Michigan.
Glenn was among 25 area citizens who completed 10 weeks of the Midland Citizens Academy sponsored by the City of Midland. Participants each week toured and were briefed on the functions of various city and county departments, including the county jail and city law enforcement, fire protection, water treatment, snow removal, parks and recreation, senior housing, and the Grace A. Dow Library.
Glenn's campaign Facebook page hit a milestone this week, surpassing 2,000 Facebook users who have 'liked' the page."

Family values
To the Editor:
"…I have been pleased to learn how Gary Glenn, candidate for the Michigan House of Representatives in 2014, strives to strengthen the family.
Gary has been president of the American Family Association of Michigan since 1999, and as such he has kept in touch with issues that threaten family life in Michigan. He is also one of the two co-authors of the Marriage Protection Amendment, which we Michigan voters passed in 2004.
It is this type of courage to act and lead toward what is best, in spite of social pressures, that we need in our elected officials."

"Day 40 of Political 'Duck' Season: Glenn will continue to highlight Karl Ieuter's refusal to debate the issues facing Bay and Midland counties. Glenn on Feb. 4 challenged Ieuter to a series of six debates, one each month before the Aug. 5 Republican primary election. Today, it has been 40 days since Ieuter refused. 'How long will Karl continue to duck my offer to publicly debate the issues and demonstrate for voters our knowledge of the economic challenges facing mid-Michigan, our proposals for stimulating new job creation, and our ability to communicate that vision?' Glenn asked. 'If he's not comfortable or capable of stating and defending his views, why is Karl running for a job that requires that ability?'" »» Read More

Part-time legislature drive begins
"Two-thirds and 46: two numbers Gary Glenn held forth as he kicked off a local drive for a part-time legislature.
Glenn, who is running to represent the 98th House District, spoke Thursday at Dan Dan the Mattress Man in Midland about putting a state constitutional amendment on the Nov. 4 ballot.
'I know it is not every day that somebody that is running for the legislature runs on the platform of cutting his salary by two-thirds before he even gets there,' said Glenn, a board member of the sponsoring organization, The Committee to Restore Michigan's Part-time Legislature (CRMPTL). 'But, certainly that is part of the mindset I am going to try to maintain if I am blessed to be elected to this position, is to represent what the taxpayers believe is best for the state of Michigan.'" »» Read More

Wednesday reader's view: Glenn vs. Ieuter debates
"To the editor:
Political debates are not only a tradition, but an important test of each candidate's qualifications for office. They provide an opportunity for voters to hear each candidate's position for the record, and to see how each candidate thinks on his feet.
They allow voters to see each candidate's sincerity and his ability to articulate, support and defend his beliefs. It says a lot about a candidate to propose a debate, and it says a lot about a candidate to refuse. Voters should understand the significance that Gary Glenn, candidate for state House in the 98th District, challenged his opponent to six debates, and that his opponent, Karl Ieuter, refused.
Mr. Ieuter claimed that debates weren't necessary because the candidates get other opportunities to speak to people, such as Republican Party and Chamber of Commerce meetings. Private meetings like these are no substitute for open debate.
Debates are on-record events, where candidates' statements can be recorded and remembered by the voters. Debates are more than stump speeches; they are challenges for either candidate to demonstrate his ability to think under pressure and to prove he can relate to voters better than his opponent.
As a high school debate coach for the past 15 years, I have found that those who truly understand issues are able to clearly articulate them in real time — debates serve this function and the electorate deserves to hear from the candidates in this forum.

'I am a conservative, and Gary most closely exhibits my ideas and the ideals of a conservative. That's what caught my attention, and that's why I think he is best suited to keep our fiscal and social houses in order.' — Midland County Commissioner Nick Finley, R-1st District.

Political round-up
Gary Glenn endorsements
"Glenn has begun airing a radio ad by the late Charlton Heston regarding Right to Work legislation. The 1986 ad features Heston's comments regarding the freedom principle behind Right to Work legislation and also includes comments about his work with Glenn on the issue. "Today, America needs leaders like Gary Glenn. I've stood with Gary before to defend our freedoms. He tells the truth, and he fights for it. I trust Gary Glenn to fight for all of us. I support Gary Glenn because I know him to be an honest man and a good man," stated Heston.
Glenn is a board member of the group, Committee to Restore Michigan's Part Time Legislature, that drafted and is proposing an amendment to the state constitution to limit the Legislature to 60 days in session each year and cut their pay and benefits to a cap of $35,000." »» Read More

State House race: Glenn challenges Ieuter to six debates
"Will 98th District State House candidates Gary Glenn and Karl Ieuter face off in a series of debates? That's the question after Glenn issued a challenge for six debates against primary opponent Ieuter. Ieuter hasn't been quick to accept the challenge.
The pair of Republicans are seeking to replace Rep. Jim Stamas, R-Midland, to represent the 98th District, and will square off in the Aug. 5 primary. Last week, campaign finance figures were released and Ieuter announced he had raised a little over $70,000 while Glenn brought in more than $75,000, including a personal loan of $25,000.
'Now that we've established that this contest will be financially competitive, we should both work to ensure that the outcome is based not just on money but on substance: the experience, track record and depth of knowledge each candidate offers voters in Bay and Midland counties," Glenn stated. "Voters deserve multiple opportunities to watch and compare the candidates first hand as we present our qualifications, demonstrate our knowledge of the issues, and debate our views and proposals for Michigan's future in a public setting.'" »» Read More

Gary Glenn: Dow commended for investing in worker freedom
"The Detroit Free Press reported Jan. 16 that The Dow Chemical Co. was the single largest donor to the nonprofit business group that led efforts to defeat a 2012 state constitutional amendment proposed by Big Labor officials in hopes of preemptively prohibiting passage of a right to work law in Michigan.
'It was only after the referendum was defeated," the Free Press reported, 'that Gov. Rick Snyder embraced legislation … that prohibited contracts that required union membership as a condition of employment, turning Michigan … into a Right to Work state.'
As a founding board member of the Michigan Freedom to Work coalition, which in 2011 launched the effort to make Michigan a Freedom to Work state, I say thanks and salute Dow for their leadership in making this new civil rights protection a reality in Michigan, safeguarding employees' individual freedom and rights of conscience on the job and protecting them from being discriminated against and fired if they choose not to join or financially support a labor union.
Thanks in no small part to Dow's generous investment in workplace freedom, that kind of job discrimination is now illegal. It's not only an historic guarantee of individual freedom and conscience, but will prove in decades ahead — as it has in other states — to be a dramatic boost to Michigan's ability to attract new business and industry and create jobs." »» Read More

Charlton Heston gives beyond-the-grave radio endorsement to Michigan state House candidate Gary Glenn
"LARKIN TOWNSHIP, MI — Gary Glenn, Republican candidate for state representative in Michigan, has no shortage of big-name endorsements, from Mike Huckabee to Tom Monaghan. But, arguably, his most famous political booster is Charlton Heston, the acclaimed actor and political activist who died in 2008.
Glenn, 55, has posted a radio advertisement that features Heston's voice, speaking in support of Right to Work laws and broadly endorsing Glenn. 'Today, America needs leaders like Gary Glenn,' he says. 'I trust Gary Glenn to fight for all of us.'
…Glenn also hosts endorsements at the state and local level from politicians including:
Midland County Board of Commissioners Chairman James Leigeb
Midland County Commissioner Nicolas Finley
Midland County Commissioner Richard Keenan
Midland County Commissioner Dan McGillivray

Gary Glenn: Local governments are run well
To the editor:
"After attending dozens of county commission, city council, township and village meetings in Bay and Midland counties over the last several months, I can report to fellow taxpayers that our local governments are in the hands of responsible and conscientious people who invest a lot of time and take their jobs very seriously.
My purpose in attending these meetings has been to get a preview of the issues and challenges our local governments face, which I'll be responsible for helping them address if elected to the state House of Representatives to represent Bay and Midland counties. However, I was pleasantly surprised and certainly encouraged to find that our local county, city, township and village elected officials see little need to look to Lansing for help, but most often simply need the state government and its regulatory agencies to stay out of their way and let them do their jobs." »» Read More

Senator in Midland to support Glenn
"Sen. Pat Colbeck, R-Canton, assistant chairman of the state Senate Republican Caucus and lead Senate sponsor of Michigan's right to work legislation, says Republican state House candidate Gary Glenn 'was instrumental in pointing us in the right direction toward passage of the Freedom to Work law.'
Colbeck was at the Grand Traverse Pie Co. in Midland recently to speak during a fundraiser for Glenn's campaign for the 98th District seat currently held by Rep. Jim Stamas, who is term-limited.
After Glenn shared with attendees his decades of leadership and experience with Right to Work, health care reform, school choice, agricultural and family values issues, Colbeck quipped that Glenn "could probably speak longer than Ted Cruz did in his filibuster, because Gary knows all of these issues inside and out, and he can articulate them to effectively protect our rights and values." »» Read More

Rep. Shirkey in Midland to support state representative candidate Glenn
"Even though the primary election is more than nine months away, Republican Gary Glenn is already accumulating endorsements on the local, state, and national level as he makes a run to represent the 98th House District. On Monday, Rep. Mike Shirkey, R-Clark Lake, was in town at the Grand Traverse Pie Company urging supporters to elect Glenn. Shirkey is in the middle of his second term and if re-elected to represent the 65th District, he would be term limited at the end of 2016.
'It is a little unprecedented for sitting House members or even Senate members to take a stand in primaries,' said Shirkey. 'Having a business background, I'm all about succession planning and long-term planning. When our class leaves, we are going to leave a huge vacuum both in numbers and leadership. So, I don't think it is too early to be identifying and recruiting people I believe have unique leadership skills. There is no doubt in my mind that Gary is part of that small cadre that can fill that void.'" »» Read More

Midland, Bay County clerks prepare same-sex marriage licenses in anticipation of court decision

'One Detroit lawyer in a black robe doesn't have the legitimate constitutional or moral authority to overturn the will of millions of Michigan voters,' Glenn said.

Right to Work supporters say Michigan's economy will benefit from law
"The controversial law formally took effect in March and will take some time for its overall benefits to take root, but in years to come, the move will prove to be beneficial, according to Gary Glenn, president of the Michigan chapter of the American Family Association. Similar legislation in other states has helped usher in new economic climates in those states, but Glenn predicted Michigan could become an economic 'powerhouse' with a new workplace climate combined with the state's trained workforce, resources and access to the Great Lakes. 'I'm looking forward to that kind of future in Michigan,' Glenn said. Glenn was one of four panelists attending the Michigan Freedom to Work Townhall held at American Legion Hall in Utica to offer additional information about the law." »» Read More

Q4 2013 Mobility Index reports groundbreaking quarter for enterprise app activations as businesses look to make employees more collaborative, productive and engaged
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Technology™, the leader in secure mobility, today announced key findings from the Good™ Mobility Index Report for Q4 2013. The company reported 54 percent growth in total enterprise application activations quarter over quarter, up from a 43 percent growth rate from Q2 to Q3 of last year. The data shows that businesses with a more established mobile approach are now focused on deploying the types of apps that can increase employee productivity and encourage collaboration, which are ultimately designed to impact business performance.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140212/SF63707-INFO)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120125/AQ41496LOGO-b)
Custom enterprise app development continued to grow at an astounding 55 percent quarter over quarter, with the greatest amount of growth seen in the business intelligence, secure browser and social business app categories. While document editing remains the most activated enterprise app, more advanced mobile apps are gaining significant ground. Enterprises begin their mobile lifecycle strategy by leveraging mobile apps for fundamental tasks such as email and contacts access, as well as editing capabilities, but are now increasingly looking to develop apps that drive new efficiencies, new workflows and new revenue streams. The report data indicates that they are moving into this more mature phase by enabling employees to use their mobile devices to complete more complex tasks via mobile apps.
"Enterprise mobile app development is on the rise," said Maribel Lopez, founder of Lopez Research LLC. "Almost two-thirds of the companies surveyed in the Q4 2013 Lopez Research benchmark plan to mobile-enable at least 5 or more applications in 2014."
"Our customers are becoming more sophisticated in their approach and implementation of a complete secure mobility solution, as they learn there are new ways to extract value from the devices their employees are carrying with mobile workflows," said Christy Wyatt, CEO and President, Good Technology. "We are living in a transformative era for mobility where enterprises are implementing smarter apps, and developing custom apps, that are improving the way their employees engage with customers and collaborate with each other."
From a device perspective, iOS smartphones made up 54 percent of all device activations last quarter, with Android's share of activations decreasing to 26 percent. This is not surprising, given the introduction of two new iPhone models to the market in late Q3. In addition, organizations continue to migrate away from BlackBerry to meet end user demand and embrace new platforms such as iOS and Android. As a result, overall device activation levels increased 34 percent from Q1 to Q4, indicating strong, continued growth and adoption of the Good Secure Mobility Solution to secure both the data and device.
Additional report findings include:
The quarterly Good Mobility Index Report provides data that identifies the adoption of enterprise applications and device activations from the previous calendar quarter, leveraging insights from the company's vast and diverse customer base using the Good Dynamics® Secure Mobility Platform. The report is an ongoing initiative to track activations across the breadth of mobile platforms and devices, and leverages findings from the more than 5,000 Good customers worldwide to highlight global mobility trends and usage patterns. The full report is available to view in PDF.
About the Good Mobility Index Report
The more than 5,000 customers represented in this report include bellwether companies– from Financial Services, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Energy & Utilities, Legal, Government, and High Tech–making this data report a benchmark for mobility adoption. The metrics cited in this report are generated directly from Good's internal data, as aggregated from all devices activated across Good's worldwide customer base.

going to happen. It keeps you on your
toes. And sometimes you can see
everyone's eyes. It's a little intimidating, but for what I'm doing right now,
new music out, doing it acoustically it really has to have those small rooms,"

In Tenaha, Texas, African Americans are being stopped and their money, jewelry and other valuables are being taken and kept by the police under the guise of forfeiture laws. When Blacks are stopped in Tenaha, Texas and they are found to have large sums of money on them, the police of Tenaha arrest them and tell them that they can be set free if they allow the police to keep their money. Those who resist the deal offered to them by the police, who people are calling "The Thieves of Tenaha," tell them that they will take their children and put them in foster care.
One Black man, Roderick Daniels, was stopped for allegedly traveling 37 in a 35 mile zone. He was arrested, and the $8,700 he was carrying and the jewelry he was wearing was taken. He was allowed to go after agreeing that the police could keep his money. He was told that he was being charged with "money laundering" for drug dealers, but he could go if the police could keep the money.
Another Black man, Ronald Henderson, had $6,500 in cash on him. He was told that he could give them the money to keep or they would take his children and place them in foster care. He relented and the police took his money and let him go without being charged with a crime. Amanee Busby was traveling with two business partners to Houston to buy a restaurant with $50,000. The money was taken but returned after her Attorney got involved. This modern day piracy operation on the highways has netted the town of over 3million dollars.
The money from these shakedowns has helped the town of Tenaha and Shelby County to cover for lost taxes resulting from the American economic meltdown. The police are being backed up by the District Attorney, a white woman named Lynda Russell. The Cop who is doing most of the arrests is a Black man named Barry Washington.
Locally, In Altadena, California, the Sheriff's seem to be taking a more sophisticated approach to terrorizing the Black community, but the result is the same. Millions of dollars are out of the pockets of African American residents to either pay for fines for bogus charges or pay lawyers to defend them. I recently received notice that my "bail" is $588. for the latest ticket I received for delivering papers at 2:20 a.m. in March, 2009 in Altadena by Sheriff's Deputies Alfredo Rosas and his partner Deputy Candelaria.
In September 2008, Deputy Rosas and his then partner Jonathan Lested stopped me at 2:45 a.m. for allegedly parking within an intersection and stopping without making a signal. Even though I went to trial and officer Rosas admitted his report was false, it cost me $158.00, my time as an attorney and my peace after being terrorized by the police for doing my job.
In cash, that's $588.00 plus $158.00 for delivering a free community newspaper and, ostensibly, Driving While Black. In terms of the emotional distress of being targeted because of being Black, there is no amount that could pay for that.
Now I have to deliver the papers in Altadena and try to avoid Deputies Rosas and his cohorts after Sundown, similar to the Sunset Laws. For those who don't know about Sunset Laws, they were signs in towns across America that said N-----r don't let the Sun Set on you in our town. In other words, be out of our town before dark. Historically, these signs were in the South but they were in towns even here in California such as Glendale, Oildale, and in and around Bakersfield.
When I got the notice from the court to pay the $588.00, I had just paid my income tax and received my bill to pay property taxes on properties we own in Altadena and Pasadena. Taxation while being the victim of discrimination is no fun.
Because I wrote about the actions of Officer Rosas before, I received a number of calls from people also complaining about their treatment in Altadena by the Sheriff. In one case, two young Black Pasadena City College students left their home on Mariposa near Lake Avenue and were approached by two Altadena sheriffs who simply got out of their cars and told them to put their hands on the car. When one of the two young men asked what did they did, they were met with the response of "Shut the f--k up." They were searched placed in the deputy's car and then let go. They were traumatized for being stopped for walking while Black.
These young men were raised in the community and, like myself, believed that there is a certain amount of respect for being a resident. But when the cops are like occupying forces who don't live in the community, African Americans are treated like those who drive through Tenaha, Texas. They don't take money but they take our dignity and peace. The sight of a Sheriff's car now causes me to look twice and wonder if I will be left alone by these strangers in our community with their badges, and guns, and attitudes.
Another family member came into the office and told me of an incident where the Sheriff came around their home in the Meadows shining their spotlights in their windows. When they came out to find out why they were shining their lights in their house they were told "because we can." They got no respect when they told the Sheriff that there was a 83 year old and a 104 year old in the house. The family was proud that the Star News had recently covered the 104 year old's 103rd birthday. How sad to have to be subjected to such treatment at that age.
To the Sheriff's, their actions didn't even warrant an apology. When I asked the family if the wanted to file a complaint they said no because they believed they would be retaliated against. This family later learned that the Sheriff was looking for someone who lived at that address in the past.In another incident, a gentleman named Thompson brought me copies of tickets he received from, ironically, Rosas and Candelaria for minor infractions. One he received in December 2008, and then one month later, another.
Another young man whose mother happened to be a Probation Officer was stopped in Santa Clarita after he dropped his girlfriend off at her home. He was stopped and arrested for resisting arrest. Funny thing is that he never resisted until the officers placed handcuffs on him too tight, he wasn't resisting he was reacting to the biting cutting pain of the handcuffs to his human skin. He has abandoned his plans to follow his mother into becoming a Law enforcement officer.
An African American person wearing a natural hairstyle, was also stopped. When this person was identified as a deputy and demanded to know why they were they being stopped, they were let go. In another incident a person who was near homeless told me they were stopped while walking. They were taken to the La Crescenta Sheriff's Station. That person was searched and let go to walk back to Altadena.
One white Altadena business man told me he saw a Black man being treated wrongfully by the Sheriff . When the businesman went over to ask why the Black man was being beaten, he then became targeted by the Sheriffs. He is now in the process of trying to sell his business to get out of town.
The stories continue, and whether it is in Tenaha, Texas or Altadena, it doesn't feel good to be treated as less than a citizen by officers who in most cases don't even live in the community or respect it's people. Many African Americans stated that they believe that they are suffering backlash from some who resent Barack Obama becoming President. The question for the Sheriff, the Altadena Town Council, Supervisor Antonovich, all of whom I am told have been confronted with many similar complaints, is "how long do African Americans have to treated like we are in Tenaha? How long do Black citizens have to be treated like they are living in some pre Civil Rights Days and have to pay with our money for driving or walking while Black?" I invite all of you to walk in the victim's shoes before you allow this pattern of racist highway robbery to continue.
The Tenaha story was reported on CNN's Anderson Cooper's 360 program. A Texas Attorney, David Guillory, has filed a federal Class Action Lawsuit to recover damages, for money taken, and to stop the discriminatory profiling of African Americans in Tenaha. Likewise Latinos are being targeted near the Mexico border. Will it take a lawsuit to stop the Highway Robbery in Altadena?

The Tigers released an updated depth chart Wednesday, which listed Frost as a co-starter at middle linebacker alongside Jake Holland. Frost had six tackles versus the Aggies last week, doing so in place of Holland, who suffered a concussion the previous week, which forced him to sit out most of practice leading up to the game.
"(Frost) played very solid. He did a good job, obviously," Malzahn said. "The big play on the sideline was a huge play. That quarterback (Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel) hadn't been tracked down very often in that situation before."
When Frost was asked about the ongoing competition Tuesday, he said Holland is still the starter.
"Basically, it's all about me doing all I can to be the best I can be for this team right now," he said Tuesday, "and right now that's not really important. It's all about winning games and doing all I can to contribute to the team."
KICK-RETURN ROTATION: Tre Mason hasn't returned kickoffs for the last two weeks because of a heel injury.
He was also left off the two-deep at the position Wednesday in favor of Corey Grant and Quan Bray. Malzahn said it shouldn't be read into extensively, because Mason will continue to see time returning kicks in the near future.
"Last week he was a little banged up and we really didn't know his status until we got out there," Malzahn said. "We got some other guys we feel very good about. He'll be a part of (kick returns) moving forward."
NO FRAZIER MOVE: Despite the reshuffling in the secondary following Josh Holsey's season-ending knee injury, Malzahn said there hasn't been any thought of moving Kiehl Frazier, now a receiver, back to safety.
"We've got a plan and we'll see what happens moving forward," he said. "Right now, Kiehl is playing on offense."

Personnel cost are the largest component of most governments' budgets. Further, personnel costs are, in economic theory, considered variable costs. However, the reality is that personnel costs in public-sector organizations can be very difficult to reduce. Collective bargaining agreements, political pressure, and local and state laws can all make it difficult to change the personnel system. This section presents methods to address personnel costs from various angles including headcount, wages, and benefits.

Back to Long-Term Treatments by Topic
A workforce plan defines the positions and skills you need in your employees to meet the organization's objectives and get the work done. A workforce plan helps you focus limited training dollars and better define the personnel skills you are willing to pay for and why. For example, which certifications does staff really need and is the government willing to pay extra for them? What positions are necessary to deliver a program? A workforce plan could lead to a comprehensive examination of job descriptions to find out if the duties performed are still relevant to the organization's objectives and if the compensation structure is appropriate. In addition, the HR strategy can be used to determine positions likely to become vacant in the near future and how those positions can be shaped during attrition to better serve the organization. Anticipated leadership and specialized knowledge shortages can be headed off or mitigated through succession planning as a part of the HR strategy.A workforce plan might also reference specific policy guidelines that serve as a basis for determining hiring levels. For example, some school districts set up support staffing standards to specify what personnel can be hired. Hiring levels might be based on factors such as number of schools in a district, the size of an individual school in square feet, or a school's enrollment.A natural complement to a workforce plan is a compensation plan. The plan should include total compensation (wages plus benefits), be updated regularly, and be based on market comparisons. Use the plan to determine the reasonableness and competitiveness of the compensation structure. Also, use the plan to create pay ranges, including the maximum that will be paid for each position. Evaluate the underlying philosophy attached to the compensation plan and determine its appropriateness for the current and foreseeable conditions facing the organization.
Employee health-care costs occupy a significant part of a government's operating budget and are an important part of employee compensation, so they impact recruitment and retention. Health-care costs are growing much faster than general inflation and government general revenues, making strategies to contain the costs a vital part of almost any effort to recover from financial distress. Health-care cost containment measures could include joining up with other governments to reduce costs, establishing individual health management programs (e.g., wellness programs), and cost-sharing with employees. Read GFOA's Best Practice "Health Care Cost Containment" to learn more about these and other health-care cost containment strategies.
Best Resources:
Although it is far from a guaranteed win, outsourcing is often seen as a way to reduce personnel costs by substituting (presumably lower cost) private contractors for public employees. There are a number of conditions that, when present, support a successful outsourcing arrangement.
Replacing labor with technology is often viewed as a way to reduce personnel costs. While the potential for success exists, it is often not realized. Perhaps the biggest culprit behind unrealized returns on technology investments is insufficient IT governance. IT governance is a system for identifying the potential investments with the biggest return, making a strong case for the investment with critical mass of authorities in the organization, and assigning the proper accountabilities to seeing that the return is realized. Under a good IT governance system, it is clear when a technology investment is intended to reduce labor costs, the magnitude of the anticipated reduction, and where and how the reduction will be realized. See the GFOA publication IT Budgeting and Decision Making: Maximizing Your Government's Technology Investments for more information.
Since salaries make up the greatest portion of the expenditure budget, it is important to both better predict and control personnel costs. Better forecasting techniques can provide a true picture of where payroll dollars are headed. Better mechanisms to manage headcount and hours worked can help control costs. Best Resources:
